Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infections
This dataset shows the Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) result in thousands of deaths each year and billions of dollars in the United States from the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that helps the healthcare community to end CLABSIs. The annual Health Associated Infections (HAI) Progress Reports serves as a reference for national and state prevention progress updates, and for calculating SIRs for each reporting state and facility.

Description
A central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a serious infection that occurs when germs (usually bacteria or viruses) enter the bloodstream through the central line. Healthcare providers must follow a strict protocol when inserting the line to make sure the line remains sterile and a CLABSI does not occur. In addition to inserting the central line properly, healthcare providers must use stringent infection control practices each time they check the line or change the dressing. Patients who get a CLABSI have a fever, and might also have red skin and soreness around the central line. If this happens, healthcare providers can do tests to learn if there is an infection present.
Healthcare providers can take the following steps to help prevent CLABSIs:
– Follow recommended central line insertion practices to prevent infection when the central line is placed, including:
– Perform hand hygiene.
– Apply appropriate skin antiseptic.
– Ensure that the skin prep agent has completely dried before inserting the central line.
– Use all five maximal sterile barrier precautions:
– Sterile gloves
– Sterile gown
– Cap
– Mask
– Large sterile drape
– Once the central line is in place:
– Follow recommended central line maintenance practices.
– Wash their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based handrub before and after touching the line.
– Remove a central line as soon as it is no longer needed. The sooner a catheter is removed, the less likely the chance of infection.
Each report is based on data reported to (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention) CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). Progress is measured using the standardized infection ratio (SIR), a summary statistic that can be used to track HAI prevention progress over time.

---|---|---|---|
State | Name of U.S. State, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. | string | required : 1 |
Number_of_Facilities_in_State | Identifies the number of acute care facilities in a state. | integer | level : Ratiorequired : 1 |
Any_State_Mandate_2012 | Indicates that whether a legislative or regulatory requirement (“state mandate”) exists or not for acute care hospitals to report data to the state health department or hospital association via NHSN for the given HAI type. The values are "Yes", "No" or "Mid-year Implementation". It indicates that no state mandate existed at the beginning of the reporting period, but was implemented during the reporting period. | string | required : 1 |
Any_Validation_2012 | Indicates that whether the state health department reported the completion of all validation activities. The Values are "Yes", "No" and "YesA". "YesA" indicates that the state also conducted an audit of facility medical or laboratory records prior to July 1, 2013 to confirm proper case ascertainment. | string | required : 1 |
